Oh, I’ve looked high and I‘ve looked low.
Oh where, oh where can they be?

Dell)
The Thumb in the thumb place
Fingers all together
This is the song we sing
When it is mitten weather
Ten warm mittens
Winter Pokey (To the Tune of: Hokey-Pokey)
Ten warm mittens, hanging on the line, You put your right mitten
in,
One blows away and then there are nine You take your right mitten out.
Nine warm mittens, one without a mate, You put your right mitten in,
A squirrel carries one away and that leaves eight. And you shake it
all about.
Eight warm mittens, just eight not eleven, You do the winter pokey,
[shiver]
One gets buried in the snow and that leaves seven. And you turn
yourself around.
Seven warm mittens, which one do you pick? That's what it's all about!
I'll pick the red one and that leaves six.
Six warm mittens, put one on to try. Other Verses:
Then you take it from the line and that leaves five. You put your left
mitten....
Five warm mittens, we had ten before! You put your right boot....left
boot…
A fluffy bunny needs one and that leaves four! You put your long scarf
in....
Four warm mittens, two for you and two for me, You put your warm cap
in....
I lost one on the ski slope and that leaves three. You put your
snowsuit in....
Three warm mittens, looking very new,
One falls into the mud and that leaves two.
Two warm mittens, drying in the sun,
A bird comes down and snatches it and that leaves one.
One warm mitten, what good is one?
A little mouse can have a bed, and that leaves none!
